The concept of "self" defines a human. ~unknown

I'll be honest with you, dear honored visitor. I am bad at talking and writing to people. As such, I would like to apologize in advance for any mistakes in my introduction.

My story starts from a remote place. A place long fabled by the people of Earth from millenia past, its existence having been formally theorized by astronomers of old civilizations such as the Chinese, the Muslims, the Europeans, the Indians, and only finally discovered relatively recently, approximately 77 years ago. A planet very similar yet much smaller than the Earth, slightly closer to the Sun and experiencing regular hot weather with average air temperatures around 30 degrees Celcius, and containing its own variation of the human species, capable of withstanding the aforementioned higher temperature, even while wearing outfits usually only used on cold days. Yes, it is the legendary desert planet of Bekasi.

Okay, I'm sorry for dragging the joke out, the point is that I was born and raised in Bekasi.

Some of you might be familiar with my family name (marga Batak Toba), Nainggolan. Yes, I share the same family name as that Belgian soccer athlete. This means that technically, he is a distant relative of mine (yes, that is how it works). My mom is also a Batak Toba person.

I used to think that socialization only occurs when 100% necessary. Thankfully, I'm out of that phase, and now I can socialize with my friends in school!
